NAVAL VISITS TO CHINA AND THE SOVIET UNION

1. As you know we have had second thoughts in this Department about the suggestion that the whole Task Group should go to China. Mr McLaren discussed this last week with Mr Mallaby who said he would wish to see any submission in draft. I now attach a redraft of Mr Fursland's draft circulated with his minute of 18 October.
2. I am conscious that the MOD are pressing for a response. You may wish to warn them (after checking that EESD agree) about the terms of the submission.
